Proenza Schouler Fall 2012

Dear Diary,

The duo have done it again! Proenza Schouler happen to be one of my favorite  designers, and they certainly did not disappoint at Fall Fashion week. Their boxy silhouettes, chunky zipper details, and asymmetrical leather shoulder ties were everything! Remember when everyone had to have a member’s only jacket in the 80s? That is how I feel about this collection, it has a cool girl feel to it that makes me want to wear every single look. Proenza Schouler keep evolving as designers, and it’s extremely inspiring to see two young gentlemen making their mark in the game.

Word Of Advice

Dear Diary,

Strolling on Melrose Ave, I came across this sage quote in front of an antique furniture store on the corner of Highland and Willoughby.

“If you go home with somebody and they don’t have books, don’t fxck ’em!”  LOL!! John Waters ( filmmaker and actor from the 70s) is a total GENIUS for that statement. Reading books to me expand your thought process. It allows you to function in society, learn about other cultures, and to grow creatively. If this isn’t the best Val’s day present, I don’t know what is. Happy Valentine’s day to all my readers!! ^_^

xoxo!!

Day 1: In Ghana

Dear Diary,

It was my 1st night in the motherland, and I was pretty psyched to debut this outfit! Believe it or not, I felt extremely sexy in the necktie and button down combo, even  with the masculine touch it had.

I refuse to take the matchy-matchy approach when pairing a shirt with the black/white contrast pants. It would have been quite boring or bartender-like.

EXPRESS men’s shirt and necktie, H&M pants, MELROSE envelope clutch and pumps, SEPHORA ROUGE R23  lipstick. 

Ghana Through My Lens
